I posted a link to a website that had some acoustic impedance graphs. The one I had in mind wasn't the horn graph, but the trombone graph where the first harmonic is very much out of tune. The point I'm trying to make is that you can't assume that a brasswind instrument will only play notes that match the theoretical harmonic series. Some do, some do not. Also, I don't see how you can tell how in tune the 8th and 6th harmonics are from those tiny graphs. Kit -- Sometimes my Email program gives the wrong return address.
